LLANDYBIE: Accountants help adventurous two-year-old with ultra-rare condition take to the slopes
Mabli Strick was born with GAND syndrome, a neurodevelopmental condition that affects only around 455 people worldwide.
One of her greatest joys is skiing every week at the Pembrey Country Park ski slope with the volunteer-run charity, Ski4All Wales.
The charity, which provides life-changing opportunities for children and adults with disabilities, has now received a financial boost from Ashmole & Co accountants.
The Ammanford-based firm has made a contribution to help the charity buy urgently needed new equipment to continue offering its transformative skiing experiences.
Jim Cornock, a Partner with Ashmole & Co, visited the ski centre to meet Mabli and her mum, Gwenno.
“It was a privilege to meet Mabli and see the incredible work Ski4All Wales are doing,” he said.
“It was lovely to see the joy on Mabli’s face while she was skiing. The work that Ski4All Wales do for help families is humbling.”
He added: “We are happy to be able to give a financial contribution to this worthwhile charity and I would urge any other businesses that can afford to do the same to seriously consider it.”
Mabli’s mum, Gwenno, said the charity had made a huge difference to their lives.
“Ski4All Wales has truly transformed our lives,” she said. “Through their kindness, support and encouragement, we’ve seen Mabli blossom, gain confidence, courage and pure happiness, every time she takes to the slopes.”
She added that adaptive skiing has given her daughter “a freedom and joy that few other activities could offer.”
Ski4All Wales offers the opportunity to experience the thrill of skiing safely through the use of specialist adaptive sit-skis.
The charity has warned that without vital support to buy new equipment, many regular skiers, including children like Mabli, will no longer be able to take part.

Swansea woman and ex‑husband jailed after cocaine bust
Dramatic footage released by South Wales Police shows the moment Lisa Regan, 53, from Portmead, Swansea, was arrested as she stepped off a plane — bringing down a drugs empire she ran with her ex‑husband.
Regan and Phillip Jones, 44, from Brynhyfryd, Swansea, oversaw a cocaine supply chain that flooded Swansea and Ammanford. Investigators found images on their phones showing Jones cutting up a kilo of cocaine, while the pair laundered their profits through a café in Blaenymaes.
At Swansea Magistrates Court in October, Jones admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, two counts of possession with intent to supply, concealing criminal property and driving while disqualified. He was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. Regan admitted similar offences and was handed seven years and four months.

(Image: South Wales Police)Police also uncovered a Carmarthenshire link. Tracy Lewis, 54, from Llandybie, was buying large amounts of cocaine from Regan and running his own operation in Ammanford.
He admitted multiple offences including supply of cocaine, crack cocaine and cannabis, possession with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property. He was jailed for six years.

“Between them, Lisa Regan, Phillip Jones and Tracy Lewis were responsible for flooding our local communities with significant quantities of Class A and B drugs.
“They thought they were above the law – but they will have been devastated to discover their operations weren’t as impenetrable as they thought. Their removal from society has made our streets far safer and better off.”
